to target militants in northern sinai. the army says this is a mission to avenge the martyrs. there has been no claim of responsibility, but according to officials the attackers brandished flags of the so—called islamic state. and here one of their many victims in the general hospital in ismailia. he is i3. general hospital in ismailia. he is 13. he was shot twice. in the hand and in the leg. he is not the only victim in his family. in the same ward, his 17—year—old cousin, also shot twice, once in the back. his mother is looking to god to punish those who brought such torment. mother is looking to god to punish those who brought such tormentli hope their hearts will be burned

just like ours, the women have all become widowed. there are no men left, they are all gone. they are all gone. then she leaned into whispered she has been breathed four times over will stop —— bereaved. losing her husband, an uncle, a cousin and her son. she did not want herfamily to cousin and her son. she did not want her family to know the death toll. we found doctors consoling another man who was praying with his extended family when the attackers struck. he lost two of his brothers and two of their children. there was shooting and people just started running, he told us, somejumped out the window, god saved some of us, but others lost their lives. among the visitors today, a local leader of the church, christians are regular targets in their places of

worship. no muslims havejoined them. more than a0 survivors were brought to this hospital. —— now we re brought to this hospital. —— now were muslims. the death toll is continuing to rise. five of those who came here have already lost their lives. well—wishers and relatives are coming to try and offer support, and across the country egyptians are struggling to come to terms with this attack. there is a grief across the country as the dead are laid to rest. the village of first act, the scene of the attack, has lost a quarter of its men. tonight, hundreds of families are in mourning. we got the latest earlier in cairo. there are fears that egypt may be entering a new phase, in the words of one commentators here with so many casualties in a single attack, egypt could start to look like

another iraq. there are concerns that the military does not have a strategy that can rein in the militants, it has been carrying out a large—scale offensive against them in northern sinai for years. as we saw yesterday so tragically those militants have retained notjust the ability to strike but to hit harder than ever. the actress emma thompson is the latest high profile celebrity to support the british—iranian woman nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe, who's beenjailed in iran, accused of trying to overthrow the state. those taking part have signed a letter urging iran's supreme leader, ayatollah ali khamenei, to release her. alice hutton reports. # if you're happy and you know it clap your hands.# nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe's favourite song, imprisoned in iran and unable to sing it with her own young daughter, 200 members of her community in london came out today to form a protest. today to form a mum's protest. they were joined by local mum and oscar—winning actress emma thompson, who braved pneumonia to lend her voice to the protests.

this is our community and one of her community has been imprisoned without trial, has been separated from her child more or less for 19 months. the situation is desperate. i'm not supposed to be out at all, but i said to my doctor, "well, i can't not come to speak, because i am free." together, they marched to the nearby islamic centre of england to deliver a letter addressed to the supreme leader of iran, calling for nazanin‘s release. really pleased with that, thank you to our muslim friends in the islamic centre. one person who did hear the voices was nazanin herself. she rang from prison in iran to thank them for their support, especially her husband, richard. thank you so much. i am so grateful. i don't think i deserve it, to be honest.

he has been amazing. thank you for all your support. thank you everyone from the bottom and top of my heart, i really feel the love. nazanin can feel the love, that is the most important thing, that's what keeps us going. with fresh charges and a new court date next month, this is a time of great anxiety for the ratcliffe family. today was all about local support and showing that nazanin might have dual british—iranian citizenship, but it is this that she calls home. australia has criticised a proposal for trade after brexit — warning that it could limit their access to the uk markets. it's been suggested that britain and the eu should split existing quotas on the amount of goods from around the world that can be imported without incurring full tariffs. australia is one of several countries that britain is hoping to make deals with, when it leaves the eu as our political correspondent, jonathan blake explains. how things work at the moment is

there are tariffs on imports coming in from countries like the us, india, canada, china, which are outside the eu. those charges in effect is to stop countries importing goods too cheaply and harming manufacturing and other industries for countries within the eu. some goods, such as lamb from new zealand, gets a slightly reduced rate, tariff rate quotas which allows a certain amount of particular goods to be imported at a reduced rate. the plan is for when we leave the eu for that to continue, but the quotas will be divided. with the example of lamb, 60% will go to other eu countries, a0% will come to the uk as it does just now, we will carry on as normal and everyone will be happy, except they're not. the countries importing those goods say this is a chance for us to import more to the uk. should the market in the rest of europe fall away, it will be

affected for any reason, we are not getting the flexibility and the room to do that, we shouldn't have to have this. take it or leave it system. how important will all this be with the uk and trade? it could be very important, as we leave the european union we will need to strike new free trade agreements with countries like australia, new zealand, the us, brazil and so forth because at the moment most of our trade is done through the eu and its single market trading zone. the fact these countries are already making angry noises about the plans that the uk and the eu want to put place is significant, it will affect negotiations between the uk and those other countries and specifically australia as we are hearing today, saying this is a point in principle. it depends how you look at it. 0ne argument is this country is getting in early in what will be a long and complicated trade negotiation to try and get the best deal it can. a large—scale international study into suicide in prison suggests there's no clear link between self—inflicted deaths

and rates of overcrowding. the research found inmates were more likely to kill themselves in the countries with the lowest rates of imprisonment. our home affairs correspondent danny shaw reports. prisons can be harsh, depressing and brutal places at times. suicide is a regular occurrence. in england and wales, last year was the worst on record. 119 inmates took their own lives, two every week. staff shortages and population pressures may have played some part in the high suicide rate, but the conditions prisoners are held in are a less significant factor than traditionally thought according to a new study. the research looked at cases across the world. it examined more than 3900 prison suicides in 2a countries. the study found wide variation in prison suicide rates, but no link with prison overcrowding, except in low—income countries where extremely crowded

cells might cause extra stress. there are no simple explanations for this prison suicide, so overcrowding, prisoner numbers, prison officer numbers, how much you spend on prison, that didn't seem to be an explanation for these differences in rates of suicide. the study found proportionately more self—inflicted deaths in jails in countries such as norway and sweden. there, custody was generally reserved for the most violent and dangerous offenders, including those with mental health problems. that led researchers to conclude that the best way to reduce prison suicides would be to cut dramatically the number of inmates with severe mental illness and improve access to psychiatric care and social welfare provision. danny shaw, bbc news. the former television presenter john leslie has been charged with sexually assaulting a woman in an edinburgh nightclub. the 52—year—old former "wheel of fortune" and blue peter star the 26—year—old woman was on a hen

night when the alleged incident took place at "atik" in the city's tollcross area. bangladesh is warning rohingya muslim refugees returning to myanmar that they'll initially have to live in temporary camps because most of their villages have been burnt down. the arrangement is likely to cause concern in the un, which is already warning about the dangers of returning the rohingya to "confinement and ghettos". hundreds of thousands of people have fled in myanmar, they accuse the myanmar military of carrying out mass killings, rape and setting fire to their homes. the myanmar government denies the accusations. today, there are more than 600,000 refugees living in camps like this one. but the governments of bangladesh and myanmar now have an agreement for their return. translation: the returnees will be

taking to the original lands or wherever they want to live. in the primary stages they will stay in temporary camps, the two sides have agreed to complete the repatration process in a reasonable time. after a verification process, the displaced rohingya will be taken back. 0ur priority is to ensure their safe return to their homeland with honour, we are aiming for that. the arrangement will cause concern at the un which has already warned of the dangers of returning the rohingya to confinement and ghettos. many of the issues that forced the rohingya to flee in the first place remain unaddressed. some refugees say they do not want to return unless they get citizenship in myanmar. i cannot trust the myanmar government. if the international community promises to keep us safe and if there are people

there to protect us, we will go. if they send us back without this guarantee, we will be persecuted again. rights groups say the idea that myanmar will allow the rohingya back with open arms is wishful thinking. it is also not clear whether the myanmar military will agree to this deal. for now, rohingya muslims continue to face an uncertain future. detectives in belfast have arrested a 20—year—old woman on suspicion detectives in belfast have released on bail a 20—year—old woman, arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after three men were stabbed in the city. 0ur correspondent following this story for us is gordon adair. it is not immediately clear what happened in this house last night. it is in north belfast, about quarter to one this morning the

police were called to a disturbance ata police were called to a disturbance at a house and when they got there they found a man in his 20s who had been stabbed in the head. a short time later and a short distance away they found two more men who had also been stabbed, one of them in the stomach, he required abdominal surgery, stomach, he required abdominal surgery, another one had a head injury and had been stabbed in the neck. it is not immediately clear what happened. 0ne neighbour has been describing to us how she tried to comfort one of the men who was clearly seriously injured. to comfort one of the men who was clearly seriously injuredlj to comfort one of the men who was clearly seriously injured. ijust heard a noise, i looked out the bedroom window and there were a few fellows a nd bedroom window and there were a few fellows and a girl and i noticed down the street that there was another four down the street that there was anotherfour or so down the street that there was another four or so climbing out through the window. 0ne looked as if his stomach was hurt and he said, i think i need an ambulance. i came out after they went up the street and went over to check on ryan and called him and he came to the window plastered in blood. our

understanding is that man, the first manfaint in understanding is that man, the first man faint in the house, required something like 50 stitches. the woman who was arrested, she was 20, she was questioned on suspicion of murder, —— attempted murder. the headlines on bbc news: as egypt buries victims of friday's mosque attack, investigators say the attackers were carrying the flag of so called islamic state. the actress emma thompson joins a demonstration in london in support of nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe —— the british—iranian woman jailed in iran. police release a 20—year—old woman on bail after three men are stabbed in north belfast. two men have been interviewed by detectives after an incident

at 0xfrod circus tube station caused public panic yesterday evening. investigators say there is no evidence that weapons had been fired. a heathrow security worker is among four people who have been arrested on suspicion of involvement in importing cocaine from colombia. the man was arrested along with a colombian man in a toilet at the airport. two other men have also been held. it's been revealed that a child sex offender evaded the authorities for seven years, by hiding at a monastery on an island off the coast of pembrokeshire. paul ashton used a fake name while he lived at the cistercian abbey on caldey island. last year, the abbey paid compensation to several women who alleged they'd been abused by a monk in the seventies and eighties. teleri glynjones reports. caldey island, a peaceful haven. separate from the world and its pressures. a sanctuary and a place to hide. in 200a, paul ashton came to caldey

island calling himself robertjudd, the monks give him a home and he lived in the clocktower of the abbey, they fed him and he worked there. a source said keep it in southin there. a source said keep it in south in an ideal position and operated the island's phone system, the computers, he even did the accou nts the computers, he even did the accounts and worked in the poster. but in 2011 he was brought to justice after a visitor recognised him from the crimestoppers most wa nted him from the crimestoppers most wanted list. his cover was blown and he was arrested by sussex police who found more indecent images on his computer at the abbey. seven years after he fled from police, paul ashton who was 59 at the time pleaded guilty to possessing over 5000 indecent images of children. he was jailed for 30 months. they haven't responded to our request for a comment. it emerged last week six

women had been paid compensation after being abused on the island. since then, a further five women had said kothik abused them.|j since then, a further five women had said kothik abused them. i would urge people to come forward or if they have heard of things happening. so that we can have an understanding of whether this is confined to one 01’ of whether this is confined to one or two individuals are if this was a pattern going on on the island at the time. the police went to aware of the allegations against kothik until 201a. 22 years after his death the current abbot has apologised but the current abbot has apologised but the allegations went referred to police sooner. today's revelations that a six offender evaded just here for seven years raised more questions about the secretive island. the democratic unionist leader, arlene foster, has told sinn fein the democratic unionist

leader, arlene foster, has reiterated her opposition to any brexit deal that would give northern ireland a special status in relations with the eu, different from the rest of the uk. she told delegates at the party's annual conference that the uk joined the eu "as one nation and would leave as one". 0ur correspondent chris page has been at the conference. arlene foster has finished her address. she said there is president of attention on the dup because of their pact with the conservatives at westminster. they are making up the numbers and giving theresa may a working majority in parliament. there was plenty of focus on what is happening in london and brussels as well as in belfast. she had a focus on that most important issue of these times, that is brexit. we want our border to remain open for people to move freely north and south for work, for education and as tourists. we want to see continued trading across the border in the economic interests of our two countries. i also said that any exit deal must recognise the reality of our geography and of history and we wanted to get the best

deal for northern ireland and the united kingdom as a whole. we want a sensible brexit, a brexit that works for northern ireland and the united kingdom. however, we will not support any arrangements that create barriers to trade between northern ireland and the rest of the uk. or any suggestion that northern ireland, unlike the rest of the uk, will have to mirror european regulations. i have written to the heads of government of each of the eu 27 member states, setting out their views. mrs m rs foster mrs foster rejecting suggestions that have been made by the irish government that the way to solve the problem around how to keep the border and the republic in its present state, a border that is

invisible with no checkpoints, is for northern ireland to remain in the european customs union or to continue to follow the rules and regulations of the european customs union. she has been very clear her party will not accept any arrangement which would set northern ireland apart from the rest of the uk and create a trade barrier between northern ireland and the rest of the uk. she says it is great britain, england, scotland and wales thatis britain, england, scotland and wales that is northern ireland's most important trading market. she had a message for an sinn fein with the continuing deadlock at stormont. she said the party is up for respect, that's what sinn fein is calling for, but the crux of the continuing problems, she has called for sinn fein to respect british culture, which would be important to unionists. she has said over the issue of the legal protection for the irish language, she respects those who speak the irish language and has indicated she is prepared to

legislate to protect the irish language but only if there is parallel legislation to protect cultural elements which are more unionist, the ulster scots language for example. whenever she has raised these points before, sinn fein have rejected them. no movement with regards to the dup‘s negotiating position. mrs foster has made it clear despite the dup‘s position at westminster, she is committed to getting stormont back up and running if the deal is right. car vandalism in england and wales hasjumped by 10 per cent in three years. 210,000 vehicles suffered criminal damage, such as smashed windows and slashed tyres in 2016, according to data obtained by rac insurance. it's believed the number of incidents of vandalism could be even higher, with many motorists not claiming for damage because they fear insurance premiums will rise. richard lister reports. it's an infuriating problem for motorists and it's on the rise. around 60 cars were vandalised on this colchester industrial estate

in august, costing thousands of pounds to fix. new police figures show that across the country, more than 210,000 cars suffered criminal damage last year. that's up 10% since 2013 but the increase in hertfordshire and in west yorkshire was 25%, while greater manchester saw a 37% rise. and none of us are immune. in 2009, the former cabinet minister, hazel blears, found her car had been attacked by vandals. slashed tyres and broken windows mean a vehicle can be off the road for days. very frustrating for a motorist because of the inconvenience, the cost and the time it takes to get an effective repair. but we feel it is probablyjust the tip of an iceberg as many people won't report a small incident of vandalism and certainly won't make an insurance claim. in this area near luton airport, holiday—makers who had parked in residential streets to avoid

airport car parks had an unwelcome surprise when they returned. paying for secure parking would have been cheaper, and if that's not available, the advice is to find well—lit, unobtrusive spaces to avoid the vandals. richard lister, bbc news. they were called the dreadnoughts of the trenches. they changed the face of modern warfare. 100 years after the first tanks were deployed, in the battle of cambrai in the first world war, members of the royal tank regiment have returned to the french town to commemorate those who died. robert halljoined the crowds paying their respects. 0n the terrace lawn of the cambrai memorial, today's tank crews look back to a week which cemented the bonds of a new military family. in november 1917, the early tank men clambered into over a00 lumbering machines, for the largest tank attack ever mounted.

inside the metal hulls, crews we re ove 1120 m e by heat and exhaust fumes. many tanks broke down. 0ne battle—scarred veteran has been adopted by the french village where it fought. tank d51 — deborah to her crew — was abandoned and lost, until a local historian found her back in 1998 and began the task of preserving her. today, deborah is the centrepiece of a new museum, commemorating her part in the battle and the five crewmen she lost. it is simply a love story. it's a love story which has started when first i met a lady who let me know that she knows a place where a tank was buried. deborah's crew were buried nearby, lost on a day when tanks advanced further and faster than anyone imagined. but the bravery of the crews and the sheer power of the tanks came to naught. the allies were once again driven back. cambrai, however, did mark the start of a change

in the way wars were fought. the tank had proved its worth. a machine that is still evolving, still a terrifying presence. its birth came at a high cost. these ceremonies mark the passing of the tank men who still lie under the rolling farmland they crossed. robert hall, bbc news, on the battlefield of cambrai. susan powell has the weather. hello. after a chilly day, we are in for a chilly night with a widespread frost developing. with any surface water remaining from today, further showers this evening means there will be the risk of ice first thing on sunday. even through this evening and overnight. watch out that if you
